Is it possible to place the content of a global variable as default value in a text field?
In my association site, members can renew their annual membership online. They can also consult their file by providing their membership number and date of birth. At this time, a search is carried out in my DB and the data is assigned to SESSION variables. I would like the contents of these variables to show as defaults in my payment form. Thus, the user will have a pre-filled form and will only have to confirm for his payment.
